Switching on
• Plug the power base into the mains socket.
• Place kettle on power base.
• Press the ON/OFF switch down (fig. 5) to switch the kettle on.
• The pilot light will switch on.
• The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled (the
ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the lights will switch off ).
• To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may move the ON/OFF switch up to the
OFF position, or simply lift the kettle from its base - it will switch off and the switch will
return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• When removing the kettle from the base, you may note moisture on the top surface of the
base. Steam escapes through a small hole in the bottom of the kettle.
Condensation on the base is therefore perfectly normal and not a cause for concern.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch
Your kettle is fitted with an ON/OFF switch which automatically switches off once the water has
boiled. If the kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so before re-boiling the kettle. Do not
attempt to hold the ON/OFF switch in the on position or adjust the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is protected against damage by a safety
cut-out which will switch off the power.
If this cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the mains supply and leave to cool down
before refilling with cold water (otherwise the element could be damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will automatically switch off.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
• Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
• Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
• Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
• DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents.
• Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
